4.0

Definitely an enjoyable read, but not utterly groundbreaking. I feel like the quality of the writing itself isn't up to par with how well she was writing Throne of Glass at the time, but it's not bad. It's definitely interesting to see the kernels she laid out for future books
(which also makes the romance a little cringe if you know where it's going)
, and makes a reread fun. I get why it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I stand by it.
